Photo Of The Day: The Fans Came In Their Thousands

Today’s photo of the day shows just some of the fans, who “came in their thousands to see the Bhoys become champions” as the song goes. It is not one of the widely circulated images and has largely gone unseen.

Despite the sweltering heat of the Lisbon sun, the fans can be seen wearing ties, jackets and bobble hats. They appear to be holding a replica of the Scottish Cup to go along with their flags, but it could arguably be a depiction of the Division 1 or Coronation Cup trophies too.

The greatest day in our history!

Hailing from an Irish background, I grew up on the English south coast with the good fortune to begin watching Celtic during the Martin O'Neill era. I have written four Celtic books since the age of 19: Our Stories & Our Songs: The Celtic Support, Take Me To Your Paradise: A History Of Celtic-Related Incidents & Events, Walfrid & The Bould Bhoys: Celtic's Founding Fathers, First Season & Early Stars, and The Holy Grounds of Glasgow Celtic: A Guide To Celtic Landmarks & Sites Of Interest. These were previously sold in Waterstones and official Celtic FC stores, and are now available on Amazon.
